Renewed Barns!

The barns at the Museum of Colrain History were recently stained a traditional barn red with white trim by a crew from the Franklin County House of Correction, who spent a little over a week on the job. 

In recent years the museum had been painted white so its a striking visual change - and looks wonderful with the new sign!
